I am going to LECOM-SH, and we have the choice of Stedman's or Dorland's dictionary. Which do you prefer, and why?

Neither, this is a waste of your money. Don't buy it, seriously.

Neither. Never touched either in PBL. Still in plastic, selling it on Amazon this week to unsuspecting MS1s
About as useful as the yellow pages
I actually enjoy the stedman app on iPad, mostly for etymology and pronunciations. There's also the occasional word that is almost so common that I realize I don't know a good definition of it, much like my relationship with much of the English language. Finally, I'd say it's worth every penny to have a reliable source that says I should NOT interpret an EKG as a "winky back". But again, words, etymologies, etc are just an obsession of mine.
If you want a trial of sorts or just to use it for free, I should say this website is confirmed (matches my apps information verbatim) using the stedman dictionary to provide medical definitions: http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=99822

Do NOT buy that dictionary. A couple of PBL facilitators may make you look something up in it during a PBL session, but there is absolutely no reason for you to spend money on actually owning the thing. You'll never use it at home.
